Venkatesh Daggubati called Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao “the world-renowned actor and sovereign leader, who made the Telugu language, the Telugu people and the Telugu nation rise step by step.” Remembering the actor, Ram Pothineni tweeted, “Some saw him as an ordinary man..Some saw him as a God..but in the end everybody realised that he was a Man sent by God!”
Sai Dharam Tej remembered the late actor and mentioned how he “delivered many classics that have our hearts and rose to heights of being hailed as Pride of Telugu People on his own.”
Earlier in the day, Jr NTR and Kalyam Ram visited NTR Ghat in Hyderabad to pay their respect. Nandamuri Balakrishna also paid tribute to the actor.
